OVERVIEW

Weld with Confidence: Exocor Executive 308L

For professional TIG welders, the quality of the filler metal can make or break the day. You need a rod that feeds smoothly, wets out evenly, and leaves a bead that makes you look good. The Exocor Executive ER308L 3/32" TIG rod is built for exactly that. Whether you are welding sanitary tubing in a brewery, fabricating a custom kitchen backsplash, or repairing a stainless tank, this rod gives you the control you need to lay down perfect dimes every time.

One of the biggest frustrations with generic stainless rods is inconsistency—impurities that pop and spit, or inconsistent diameters that snag in your fingers. Exocor's Executive line solves this with precision manufacturing. These rods are super clean, meaning you get a stable arc without the wandering that causes undercut or lack of fusion. The 3/32" diameter is a versatile workhorse size, perfect for medium-gauge materials where you need to fill a joint efficiently without overheating the base metal.

Why Choose the Executive Series?

  • Traceability: Each rod is stamped with the alloy grade. If you drop a handful of rods on the floor, you won't have to guess which one is the 308L and which is the 316L. This simple feature saves time and prevents costly rework.
  • Packaging: Comes in a sturdy 10lb tube that protects your investment from moisture, dust, and bending in the shop environment.
  • Appearance: The weld deposits polish up brilliantly, matching the base metal color perfectly, which is essential for architectural and food-grade work.

Stop fighting your puddle and start welding with a rod that works with you. The low carbon content isn't just a spec on a sheet; it means your welds will hold up against rust and corrosion long after the job is done, keeping your customers happy and your reputation solid.

FAQ

For TIG welding with ER308L, use 100% Argon. This ensures a stable arc and protects the molten pool from atmospheric contamination.

Use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative), also known as Straight Polarity. This concentrates the heat on the work piece and provides deep penetration.

The 'L' stands for 'Low Carbon'. It indicates that the carbon content is restricted to a maximum of 0.03% to prevent carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

It is not recommended. While it will physically join the metal, 308L does not contain Molybdenum. To maintain the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless, you should use an ER316L filler rod.

No, for joining mild steel to stainless steel, you should use an ER309L rod. Using 308L on mild steel can lead to cracking due to dilution issues.

For a 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten and rod, a typical amperage range is between 70 and 130 Amps, depending on the thickness of the base metal and travel speed.

Store in a clean, dry environment. While stainless steel doesn't absorb moisture like stick electrodes, keeping them clean from dust and shop oil is critical for X-ray quality welds.
